Woz in his own words

Wozniak, variously known as “Woz” and the “Wizard of Woz,” put together circuit boards for what would be called the Apple I, and Jobs sold them for $500 each to a new computer store, the Byte Shop in Mountain View, California.

“There are stories that Steve (Jobs) and I engineered those first computers together,” he writes. “I did them alone.”

By 1977, the pair had introduced the Apple II, still recognizable as a personal computer even today, and sold 2 million by the time it was superseded by the Macintosh.

As Apple grew into a huge company, Wozniak shunned management positions and worked in a cubicle alongside other engineers, even though he was a co-founder.
